Discrimination in the Locker Room

Monday, November 5th, 2007

I just got into an interesting discussion with a friend – and we both have very different opinions on the issue. He is of the opinion that if you’re homosexual, you should never be allowed in a school locker room.
I find this idea to be both preposterous and morally repugnant.
I do see the reasoning behind [...]

“Brotherment”

Friday, August 31st, 2007

A new study asserts that gay unions between existed some 600 years ago in Medieval Europe:
Civil unions between male couples existed around 600 years ago in medieval Europe, a historian now says.
Historical evidence, including legal documents and gravesites, can be interpreted as supporting the prevalence of homosexual relationships hundreds of years ago, said Allan Tulchin [...]

Another Church Gives Christianity a Bad Name

Monday, August 13th, 2007

Who in their right mind would actually cancel a funeral because the deceased was gay? That’s exactly what happened at High Point Church in Arlington, Texas.
ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — A megachurch canceled a memorial service for a Navy veteran 24 hours before it was to start because the deceased was gay.
Officials at the nondenominational High [...]

This has to be a joke

Thursday, June 14th, 2007

Somebody please tell me this is a joke.
The Pentagon confirmed to CBS affiliate KPIX-TV it considered a chemical weapon that would turn enemy troops gay.
A watchdog organization that tracks military spending first uncovered the strange military proposal to create a hormone bomb that could purportedly turn enemy soldiers into homosexuals and make them more interested [...]

What’s the deal with H.R. 1592?

Friday, April 27th, 2007

This is absolutely ridiculous.

It’s disgusting. Over the top. And it’s the evangelical response to the bill coming before the Senate to enforce severe punishment for “hate crimes.”
Except… the bill doesn’t really enforce punishment for all “hate crimes,” or does it?
From Harry Jackson:
This legislation will grant protected status to “sexual orientation” and “gender identity.” Further, it [...]

Are Animals Gay?

Saturday, January 6th, 2007

I just read a fascinating article written by Laurence Thomas, a man who does not think homosexuality is wrong, titled Are There Gay Animals? On Justifying Gay Behavior in Humans. (HT: Jeremy)
The basic premise of the article is pointing out the foolishness of the argument that homosexuality is found in nature so it must be [...]

An Exchange on Gay Christians

Friday, July 14th, 2006

While going through this week’s Christian Carnival, I came across the following series of posts. I have to say I agree with Funky Dung, but I appreciate how both sides were able to discuss their differences of opinion without calling names or getting angry.

The Post that started it all
An Exchange on Gay Christians (Part I)

Big in the news: Gay Marriage

Monday, June 5th, 2006

This has got to be the absolute best essay I’ve ever read on the subject of gay marriage, “A really, really, really long post about gay marriage that does not, in the end, support one side or the other” by Jane Galt (HT: Mary Katherine Ham over at HughHewitt.com).
Jane takes a look at the viewpoint [...]

More on homosexuality

Wednesday, March 15th, 2006

Someone asked me today how to treat homosexuals as the precious human beings they are to Jesus without condoning their sinful lifestyle. I will try to answer that here.
It isn’t easy. It’s a lot easier to read someone’s writing on the matter and say “Yes! I agree with that!” than to actually put it into [...]

Jesus and Homosexuals

Monday, March 13th, 2006

I have found the most objective and Christ-like response to homosexuality. Scot McKnight has posted on his blog a series about Jesus and Homosexuality.
Brief excerpt:
Humans are Eikons; humans are people; they are not morality acts or immorality acts. That is my point. If we believe, as I do, in God’s embracing grace that awakens in [...]
